  • Is used cooking oil a promising raw material for advanced biofuel production?
  • 5. Conclusions The environmental performance of biodiesel fuel production from used cooking oil (UCO), a promising raw material for advanced biofuel production, was examined. The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was applied using actual life cycle inventory (LCI) data, collected from a commercial-scale biodiesel production plant in Greece.
  • What is the difference between UCO & WCO biodiesel?
  • Biodiesel produced from used cooking oil (UCO) or waste cooking oil (WCO) is an advanced biofuel, i.e. second-generation since it is obtained from a non-crop feedstock. It is promising in terms of both quality and production cost [ 7 ], while UCO is currently considered as a cheap biodiesel feedstock [ 8 ].
  • Can palm oil be used as a feedstock for biofuel production?
  • Palm oil has been discovered as a potential feedstock for biofuel production in Malaysia [ 19, 20 ]. This novel research study focuses on the potential of biodiesel fuel as a better feedstock for production of green diesel. The main feedstock for the production of biodiesel is vegetable oil [ 21 ].
  • Can used cooking oil be recycled for biodiesel production?
  • The potential of households¡¯ used cooking oil (UCO) recycling for biodiesel production is massive. This study aims to promote the shift from UCO inappropriate disposal to sustainable recycling. UCO is classified as municipal waste under the code 20 01 25 (edible oils and fats), according to the European Waste Catalogue.
  • Does UCO reduce the cost of biodiesel fuel?
  • With feedstock accounting for between 80% and 85% of the production cost of biodiesel, the use of UCO can result in a substantial reduction in production costs, thereby significantly reducing the cost of biodiesel fuel.
  • Why is vegetable oil a major source of UCO?
  • The increase in population has triggered the consumption of vegetable oil that gives rise to massive volumes of UCO. The largest percentage of these vegetable oils is used in households, restaurants, and fast-food outlets for cooking and frying. Table 5 shows the estimated amount of UCO collected by some countries.
